Features

Wastecorp Sludge Pro®Pump Technology


Technology

  • Positive displacement reciprocating diaphragm pump per ANSI/HI standards

Principle of Operation

  • Positive displacement pump using reciprocating motion and check valves to displace liquid from suction to discharge side of pump

Solids Handling Capability

  • All 3”, 4" and 6" pumps pass up to 2½” solids
  • Suction and discharge flow path are of equal sizes

Disc

  • Manufactured of ductile iron that acts as the pumping element in conjunction with the check valves
  • Disc has Lifetime warranty
  • Discs never contact the pump body

Check Valves

  • Polyurethane ball checks encased in rugged cast iron valve chamber.
  • Clack Valve available in Buna-N, Neoprene, or viton

Trunnion

  • Sealing device that flexes with the mechanical reciprocating motion to seal liquid within pump body

Pumping Action

  • Reciprocating pumping with extended stroke length operating at low speed. Stroke length and speeds are directly proportional in positive displacement pumps
  • Low operating speeds (below 110RPM) provide less load on drive components and extended life on trunnion and disc by millions of cycles.
  • All reciprocating pumps create pulsing flows and use pulsation dampeners to reduce pulsation

Power Drive Arrangement

  • Standard mechanical gear reducer direct drive coupled to pump main shaft
  • Superior torque ratings over belt and pulley systems
  • Pump shaft connected by flexible coupling assembly to drive arrangement
  • Coupling aids to handle any shock loads and prevent backlash and noise

Maintenance

  • Coupling provides easy access to drive pedestal assembly for replacement of trunnions and disc (one process)
  • No need to crawl under pump to maintain trunnions or discs
  • Easy access to check valves through quick-opening valve covers.

Base Frame

  • Heavy-duty fabricated steel channel with supporting pedestal feet for direct mounting to floor (optional 304SS foot base)

Installations

  • Wastecorp has been manufacturing reciprocating positive displacement pumps for over 24 years
  • References available for Sludge Pro pumps upon request.

Manufacturing Capability

  • ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified facility.
  • Made in North America

Warranty

  • Two (2) Years (Lifetime on Discs)

What is a Double Disc Pump?

Double disc pumps in general are categorized as a reciprocating positive displacement mechanical diaphragm pumps as defined by the American National Standards Institute/Hydraulic Institute Standards, who is the recognized global authority of pump guidelines and standards.

Wastecorp uses this terminology to distinguish the large disc used in the Sludge Pro’s patented pump design. The disc is the main element that transfers the liquid in conjunction with the check valves. The trunnion is the flexible seal that ensures a leak free design. The robust design has an excellent track record of long term durability and trunnions are engineered to last millions of cycles.
